Ok, I'm new to the forum, and have been playing Baldur's gate II for a few weeks, after having been playing BGI for over a year. Here is my situation.

My char is a 7th fighter/22nd thief, I have a 19 STR (tomes from BGI) and have the highest proficency in long sword (Grand Master I think). My backstabs are supposed to be x5, but ever time I backstab, it only does damage in the low 40s. I even had one at 37 last night. I do more damage with a critical hit! With +7 damage for STR, +3 for Longsword (Drow), plus my weapon profiency bonus (+3 or +4, whatever the best is), I don't see how my minimum backstab could be less that 70. In case you think, maybe I'm not actually backstabbing them, I am, because I always get the message of "Quintuple backstab". Valygar's backstabs always do more damage than mine? Ack, whats the problem?

Thanks for any help.
